Does my Pergola require planning permission?
As a general rule from the 1st October 2008, garden structures (including pergolas) do not require planning permission as long as the following points are followed:-
No structure forward of the principle elevation fronting a highway. pergola cleaning london.
Must be single storey with a maximum eaves height of 2.5mtrs and a total height of less than or equal to 4mtrs for a pitched roof or 3mtrs for any other type of roof.
Within 2mtrs of a boundary the maximum height cannot exceed 2.5mtrs.pergola cleaning london.
Garden structures must have no verandas, balconies or raised platforms.
Where no more than 50% of the existing land around the ‘original house’ is already covered by garden buildings.
Within the curtilage of a listed building planning permission must be sought.
In Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, National Parks, World Heritage Sites, the maximum area to be covered by an outdoor structure, more than 20mtrs from the original house, must be limited to an area not exceeding 10sq mtrs. However, any buildings at the side of the property, within these nominated areas, will require planning permission.
As local authorities may interpret these guidelines in different ways, it is always best to give your Local Planning Office a quick telephone call to discuss what you are intending to do, before you proceed, to ensure that you will meet the regulations for your own particular area.

pergola east london. We all love being at home and enjoying our own outside space. pergola east london. So often the weather is either too hot or raining and spoils the experience. The answer is to have an awning, veranda or outdoor living pod which are based on the gazebo idea. We know that the gazebo was a simple structure basically consisting of 4 posts with a few timbers passing over the top, possibly providing support for some plants, that in turn supplied some shade when the leaves were out.
Our outdoor living pods, awnings and verandas provide so much more sophistication and practicality.

Adapting the Free Pergola Plans
The example design is just that, an example, with easy to change elements to suit your own unique style preferences and situation. Simple or elaborate, large or small, build it as you wish!
The free pergola plans will still work for any shape or size, even if the look is significantly different – using thicker wood, making rafter tails longer, changing the shape of the structure and the decorative rafter tail ends, having rafters running in only one direction and closer together, using a raised rafter style, or having rafters sitting fully on top of the supports. There are so many things you can do.

All our pergolas come with durable polyester powder coating, and are available in a range of 7 selected colours as standard. This includes a variety of contemporary white, grey and black shades and a mixture of metallic, matte and gloss finishes. These colours have been specially chosen to complement the sleek, modern character of our designs, but if you have a specific look in mind for your project, you can also pick from the full range of 100+ RAL colours and the option of two different shades for the framework and roof blades, to create a truly bespoke feel.

To reduce construction time and minimise disruption to your schedule, our bioclimatic pergolas have been designed for fast and simple installation.

So what’s stopping you?
Yes, these spectacular garden structures can be easy to build, but it’s those niggly little uncertainties, isn’t it – what size of wood to use – how to fix it into the ground – where to find materials – whether to buy a ready-made manufactured pergola kit instead? The list gets longer and longer…
Don’t let these small details put you off. Once you know which size bolts to use and the length of wood you’ll need – or where to find the pergola kit you’re dreaming of – it’s fairly plain sailing. You could easily have one of these gorgeous features in your garden in no time at all.
